Paint Splatter: Cult of the Rusted Claw

October 2016·pp. 124–125

THE SHORT VERSION

Acolyte and later-generation hybrid recipes reproduce the Rusted Claw’s filthy orange cloth, off-white armour and alien-tainted skin. Painting shared base colours before washing saves time, while purple facial shading, red eyes and tattoos link nearly human infiltrators to their Genestealer masters; separate equipment and industrial bases complete the scheme.

Broodcoven

The release preview introduces the Patriarch, Magus and Primus as the cult’s psychic, political and military leaders. The plastic set combines all three with familiars, while the accompanying background explains how their authority emerges as the infected population grows through successive generations.

Goliath Truck

The Goliath is described as an ordinary Imperial industrial vehicle pressed into cult service. The kit can build a troop-carrying truck or a lower, heavier Rockgrinder, whose drilldozer and repurposed mining weapons make a civilian workhorse dangerous to infantry and armoured opponents.
